The Tiran and Sanafir Crackdown continues

The crackdown against activists and lawyers opposing the Egyptian government to give up Red Sea Tiran and Sanafir isles to Saudi Arabia continued early Friday.

In the early of the morning, we found out that security forces arrested prominent Human rights lawyer Malek Adly and 6 April Youth Movement leading member Zizo Abdu in Cairo.
Malek Adly, the prominent leftist Human rights lawyer and the member of the Egyptian Social Democratic Party was arrested and referred to the Prosecution which interrogated him at 3 AM till 7 AM according to lawyers.
According to lawyers , he and Zizo Abdu were beaten during their arrest.
He is detaining 15 days pending investigations for 6 charges including attempting to topple the regime, obstruct the constitution and spreading false news aka rumors aka Tiran and Sanafir are Egyptian territories.
Malek Adly and a group of other lawyers already were challenging the Egyptian government to stop the deal in front of the court using all the documents and evidence that the two isles are Egyptian.
Adly already stated once on Facebook that he would hand himself into the police after the court session of the case on 17 May.
I hope the week passes without more arrests among the lawyers !!!
An arrest warrant was already issued to arrest Adly during the crackdown against lawyers and activists before the 25 April protests.
Adly is from Egypt's top human rights lawyers and defenders. His work does not focus on political freedoms and human rights only.
His work also included social right and cultural rights.

I think it is beyond the two islands issue when it comes to Adly for the regime. It is like the regime has found the perfect moment from its own point of view.
This is a huge blow without doubt to the human rights lawyers Egypt.
After his arrest, Malek Adly's Social media accounts were closed by his wife as a precautionary procedure.
Zizo Abdu , who was from the remaining April 6 Youth Movement leading members out of detention is also detained 15 days pending investigation.

Baby Bahia is adorable, thanks for sharing the photo. She will have a lot to overcome yet the future is on her side.

The frequent repetition in speeches of ‘not being afraid’ is actually a proof of the opposite. The insane crackdown on vocal citizens is burning the last bridges to internal civil discourse. Externally the bills are mounting to the Saudis, the Italians, the French, the Russians, the Israelis among others.
